I appreciate what you're saying but the reality is that incentive structures are not aligned to make these happen. The MoD and military are as 'cut' driven as they come. The only reason some Indian gear is starting to get bought is that Modi outright banned a bunch of imports. Even then domestic companies are paying the powers that be to get their stuff bought by the military/MoD.

Let me put it this way, Indian equipment would be bought if they match the 'speed money' that the foreigners pay. Now as Indian corporates are doing well so they've started to as well. But it really boils down to this.

Do you really think that US companies will pay bribes

If this information is leaked it will become a huge political scandal
